Culture
Speaker 1: Hello. Hello music and tech fans, Don de two, just dropped on Kanye's stem player. And I'm gonna show you how to download it.
Speaker 2: That is hot.
Speaker 1: So Don de two was finally released this week and in a bold move for the music industry, it's only available on Kanye's $200 stem player, and I'm gonna show you how to download it today, but only if you have the stem, of course. So yay. Otherwise known as Kanye west said, he would release the album on 2 22, 2022, and that it would only be available [00:00:30] for download on his stem player, which he released in late 2021. The album did not become available on 2 22, 22, but Kanye did host a live listening party in Miami for Florida performing Don de two in its entirety, which streamed live on his website ahead of the Donat two launch. So Don de two was finally released on February 23rd, 2022, but only four songs were released on February 24th. He released the rest of the album, which included 12 more tracks. So he might release [00:01:00] more tracks today who knows.
Speaker 1: Kanye is very unpredictable. DNDA two is Kanye's 11th studio album, which he reportedly started recording in late September, right after the first DNDA album was released. The first DNDA album broke records on both Spotify and apple music. And after eight days of streaming had been streamed over 423 million times. So this is a pretty quick turnaround for any artist on this level. And this is the first time to my knowledge that a major record label released and distributed their [00:01:30] music in this way on an experimental stem player that can split tracks into stems, allowing you to remix record and jam on pretty much any track you upload into the stem player. So let's walk you through how to download Don a two on the stem player. Now, before I get started, please accept my massive apologies, but I am not gonna play any of the new album on this video because YouTube will flag the video and demonetize it. So I might talk over some of the music and see if I can trick the algorithm, but I'm not gonna play any songs on this video. Okay. [00:02:00] So let's get started. The first thing you wanna do is you wanna go to.com. So I have this stem player here,
Speaker 1: Got some music on there already. So the first thing I'm gonna do is I'm going to connect this to my computer, the us B C cable, and it starts to make some funny lights. Then it says stem player detected go to stem player.com to connect. So I'm gonna click on this Now I see a linker [00:02:30] file so I can upload, I can look at my tracks. I can configure. And then here's Don to two. So I'm gonna click on Don to two. It says Don to two, not enough space. So I'm gonna delete the first Don to album. Now it looks like I can download all of his albums. So let's go ahead and add John to two.
Speaker 2: Oh,
Speaker 1: [00:03:00] Now it's all funky. There we go. Okay. Don to two Bo Add. Okay. So now it's downloading Don to two onto the stem player. I didn't have to pay for anything. So that's kind of interesting. I'm getting this album for free. I think I was totally expecting to put it in my credit card. So it's uploading track one through 15 and it looks like it's gonna take a [00:03:30] little while. I know it's gonna gimme the stems of every album, but I wonder if it's like the full resolution. I don't know what resolution that record's in. Maybe it's in 48 92. I, I don't know. So this has taken a while. Actually. It's not even done with the first song. I'm kind of surprised This is taking a while. I'm gonna start timing this cuz uh, wow. [00:04:00] Now this has taken about 20 minutes to download 15 songs. And I think the reason why it's taking so long is cuz it's uploading every stem individually too, which are probably all also high resolution, probably 48 92 or something. So for every song it's uploading four different files. So now it looks like all of the new Kanye D two album is on my stem player. All right. So I'm gonna go ahead and try it out. I'm gonna go back
Speaker 1: And now I'm all good. I'm gonna disconnect it [00:04:30] now. Let's hear what we got. I'm gonna talk over it. So I don't, we don't get flagged. Hey, this is the first track on the Kanye album. Here's the next track on the Kanye I'll third track BBA four track. So that's dawned too right there. And then this is one of my songs. So I don't have to worry about this one. Anyway. That's how to download Donda two on the stem player. Let me see what I play from here. [00:05:00] Oh you can. So this is pretty cool. If you press play next to one of the tracks, it will give you this visual interpretation of the stems that are happening on the song and then you can play and you can mess with it that way. So I'm gonna talk over it, but now you can hear the instrumental. Let me turn it up And you're not gonna be able to hear the base cuz it's on my laptop and you can sit here and you can jam songs on the web interface, which [00:05:30] is pretty cool.
Speaker 1: So that's how to download Don who on Kanye west stem player. It's pretty simple. It takes about 20 minutes or so. And then you can actually jam the songs in the web interface, which is pretty neat. I didn't know you could do that and it's free if you already purchased the $200 stem player. So it's not free, but you can get Kanye's music for free. If you [00:06:00] have a stem player, I'm sure the album will be released shortly on all the major streaming platforms. So just stay tuned until that happens. But for now I'm gonna enjoy some Kanye west. Don did two this weekend.
